My Interest in Mushrooms and Wellness

I have attended many integrative health conferences and interacted with representatives of many supplement companies, however, medicinal mushrooms seemed too weird for me, so I put off investigating them.

However, after learning that highly respected integrative physicians (including Andrew Weil, MD) prescribe medicinal mushrooms for immune health, I opened up to becoming knowledgeable about them and trying them myself. (They are now one of my daily supplements.)

I also felt validated that medicinal mushrooms are becoming more mainstream when my friend’s exceptionally trained veterinary oncologist shared promising research on mushrooms and dogs with a particular aggressive cancer that her dog had. The vet’s holistic approach included a mushroom supplement that complements the dog’s regular chemotherapy treatments.
